New YORK, May 1s.-The Commerei0l
Advertiser says an organization is being
effected among capitalists in this city to
deal in silver bullion certificates. same as
grain certificates are now dealt in. The
headquarters of the organization will be
the Western National bank Of which ex-
Secretary of the Treasury Manning and
ex-Treasurer Jordan are the founders.
MIR. Manning and his associates ain. to
make New York the chief seat OF the
silver bullion trade and transfer the con-
troll of the silver marie from London
to New York.
Their plan of operationsis is to have silver
bullion in large quantities deposited with
western national banks and have it traded
in very much the same way as grain GER
titicates are in Chicago OF s. ock certificates
are here. To accomplish this it will be
necessary to secure the cooperation OF
good stock exchanges.
BERLIN, May 18.-Gen. Boulanger's in
tention to mobilize the French army IS
the subject of much discussion here. 1t
is deemed certain that if France calls out
her troops for active service, Germany
will follow suit and mobilize also.
Gen. Boulanger's plan is intended to
test the merits of the French system OF
calling all troops into active service that
are on the army roll. He also, no doubt,
aims to give such troops some practice III
rallying to their respective quarters.
The measure cannot fail to alarm Ger
many. since it would place her at disad-
vantage in the event of war. If she IS
seeking for a pretext to attack France she
may make use of this, but it is unlikely
that Boulanger will persist if Germany
becomes restless.
CHICAGO, May 1S.-The number of idle
men in this city who have either struck Or
locked out is rapidly increasing. They
are variously estimated at from 10000 to
10000. The number probably does not
exceed 1900, but at the end of the pres
ent week it will be greatly increased. No
more than 500 brick layers are at work and
their occupation will be gone as soon as
the stock of material on hand is eXhauste
Employers in other trades are gradually
forced to stop work because they are
reaching point in construction at which
they can proceed no further. The out
look is not promising for either contractor
or laborer. but both appear to take cheer
full view OF the situation and both are de
termined not to yield a point

Dor and the Manufacturers Association

Many association factories that are run

sreasing the number of lockouts to sixty
factories and throwing out of employment
